Description

A soft and flexible level IIIA ballistic panel insert for plate carriers. Sold as single panels, not pairs. Only available in Finland due to export restrictions.

Manufactured in 2024.

Size 25 x 30 cm (10" x 12"), weight 380 g (13.4 oz).

Protection level NIJ IIIA + 15J

The stab-resistance is easier to explain so let's do that one first: the vest stops an edged blade thrust at it with an energy level of 15 joules.

The IIIA level according to NIJ-standard is pretty much the lowest used in military and LE applications these days, but also the highest level that can be achieved with soft materials. NIJ IIIA is commonly used in bullet-resistant vests worn underneath clothing as well as flak vests.

NIJ IIIA is tested against the following threats (list not exhaustive):

.22LR (rimfire pistols and rifles)
.44 Magnum SJHP
357 SIG
9x19mm FMJ (pistols and submachine guns)
Fragmentation and ricochets.
